BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

Note: Bigar’s Stars is based on the degree of your sun at birth. The sign name is simply a label astrologers put on a set of degrees for convenience. For best results, readers should refer to the dates following each sign.

A baby born today has a Sun in Taurus and a Moon in Libra if born before 3:25 a.m. (PDT). Afterward, the Moon will be in Scorpio.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, April 25, 2013:

This year you have a lot of pressure on you, even when dealing with very difficult people. You tend to have more energy and power than you have had in the past. Your creativity flows, which makes you very desirable to the opposite sex. If you are single, you will have many choices. You do not need to look for someone. If you are attached, you could see a fireworks display happening between the two of you more frequently. SCORPIO has issues similar to yours, but he or she manifests them differently.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

HHHH Today’s lunar eclipse suggests that you slow down, especially regarding communication. Curb any sarcastic comments, even if you think they are funny. Understand that others might be uncomfortable, so make it a point to listen to them carefully. Tonight: Take a deep breath.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

HHH Someone might open up and let you know about all of the things that you have done wrong. Maintain your composure, and recognize that this person is unusually upset. Defending yourself might not be as important as listening to him or her right now. Tonight: Go with the flow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

HHHH You usually give 100 percent, but that does not lessen the impact of today’s lunar eclipse. You might want to pull back and establish boundaries if too much is dumped on you, or if you need more space to complete your work. Tonight: Put your feet up and relax.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

HHHH You might want to think in terms of adding more fun to your life. Excitement seems inevitable, especially involving a creative venture or a loved one. In the near future, a change in status is very possible. Tonight: Meet friends, and dance the night away.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

HHH Pressure builds at home, and it could seep into other areas of your life. It would be in your best interests to do something to stop this pattern. A family member might be overserious. There is no way around it. You have humor and caring going for you. Tonight: Make it early.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

HHH Unexpected information comes forward that could set you back, at least for a little while. Someone who is instrumental to your well-being could be vague at best. You need to get more facts before making any decisions. Tonight: Do not push someone too hard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

HHH You could find that your more possessive side emerges in a discussion. If money is slipping through your fingers quickly, realize that you might be trying to ease some strong feelings. Be aware of the implications as well as your actions. Tonight: Ever playful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

HHHH You could discover that you have more hidden feelings and agendas than you thought. Emotions run high, and you might not have your usual self-discipline. Try to refrain from doing anything that could have some serious ramifications. Tonight: Play it cool.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

HHH Slow down to avoid making a mistake that could happen too easily. Even if you have an agreement with someone, you could discover otherwise today. Let this lunar eclipse work positively in your life and bring out what is hidden within you. Tonight: Not to be found.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

HHHH You could be looking at a major change in the near future. This transformation could be very different from one person to the next. Stay clear. You have unusual insight, and others often come to you for solutions to their problems. Tonight: Accept someone’s invitation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

HHH You might want to say little if a personal matter is blowing up in your face. Deal with outside matters, run errands and touch base with others. Listen to feedback, and try not to minimize the importance of certain decisions. Tonight: Out and about with friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

HHHH Your ability to get past an immediate problem marks your decisions. Don’t assume that you have resolved the situation just yet, though. You might want to test the resolution with a little time. People are very changeable at this point in time. Tonight: In the limelight.
